I get this and tend to have the same approach but I will spend just as much time and mess to turn a $2 bag of potatoes into french fries. That’s a little more necessary (to me), though.
I like french fries, but I buy them from restaurants that have fryolators. Yeah, they are much better when they are actually fried.
Yes - I’ve had this, a long time ago. I was thinking it must have been in my Northern youth, but maybe…hmm - Berlin? Something like a schnitzel?
While I go on researching The Northern Chippies I Knew, there’s this:
The cooking instructions include: Deep Fry - From Frozen: Preheat oil to 190°C and lower burgers gently into the oil. Cook for approx. 5-6 minutes until crisp and golden.
Enjoy

It’s not going to instantaneously heat up to temp or anything; that’ll definitely happen on the outside, but if you’re judicious about it, you might be able to keep it juicy at the same time getting it really browned all over.
Seems like the trick would be time, oil temp and % of fat in the meat.
Yeah, I don’t see any reason it would dry out faster than if you just fried it normally. You just want the oil hot enough so it sears and browns the outside before the inside is overdone, just like deep frying anything else.
